INGREDIENTS
1 half medium Russet Potato (~75g)
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey (~113g)
1/4 cup Black Beans, drained and rinsed (~43g)
0.5 ounce Cheddar Cheese (~14g)
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Scrub the medium russet potato thoroughly, then slice it in half. Score the skin lightly with a fork to help it crisp up during baking.
Place the potato half skin-side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Drizzle with a tiny bit of oil (or spray lightly) and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until the skin is crispy and the inside is tender.
While the potato is baking, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey and season with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces.
Stir in the drained black beans into the turkey mixture and let it warm through for an additional 2 minutes.
Once the potato is ready, remove from the oven and spoon the lean turkey chili evenly on top of the crispy potato half.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the chili. Return the loaded potato to the oven just until the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from the oven, garnish with a pinch of extra pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
